This is a thread for people who are currently going through a rough patch and just wants to unburden, share their struggles and possibly get the encouragement to go on.

There's a refreshing feeling when you know you're not alone and there are people who can identify with your struggles. This is exactly what this thread is created for.

There's no benchmark for pain. Hence, making fun of people's problems or undermining their struggles is not allowed.

You're welcome to share whatever it is you're going through.

This thread is for losers. Life is fun.

Life is beautiful and wonderful.

Will this thread help to get my gf bk?

The bulk of the comments here are borne out of ignorance of how the human mind works.

Although the topic explicitly reads that the thread is for people going through depression, a lot of you have resulted to making unwarranted comments on a subject you know nothing about, just so you could feel good about your pathetic and mediocre lives.

You lunkheaded fools!

Depression is a mental illness. There are biological, chemical and psychological intricacies that play into its complexity. It's not a matter of being tough.

Are you tougher than Tyson Fury who fell into depression and almost committed suicide just after winning the Heavyweight boxing title? Are you more accomplished than Elvis Presley who drugged himself to death because he wanted to drawn the emotional pain that comes with fame?

You average bloks who have never smelled or possibly imagined the hemisphere of what a meaningful life tastes like feel you can spill hogwash over something you know nothing you know about.

If you weren't poverty stricken, you'd realise that money doesn't bring fulfilment.

If you weren't poorly educated, you'd realise that you can be surrounded with a lot of people and still feel lonely. Ask Justin Bieber.

Adolf Merckle was a billionaire who committed suicide in 2009 after the financial crackdown that plagued the world in 2008. He lost a bulk of his wealth and soon fell into depression and he refused to speak about it. If he had opened up to someone about his pain, he possibly would have still been alive today and contribute more to the world.

A lot of you have average dreams. Hence, you never get to experience catastrophic disappointments that leaves you shattered. That's why you're here mocking and spitting on a serious issue that has taken the lives of millions.

I created this thread so I and others who are trained in the subject could offer help to people who may be hurting.

Unfortunately, I fear that you dumbbells might have derailed the purpose.

Yes it is. But some of us are still tryna work our way to that point.
Thanks

I will creat a thread for that soon.

My advice to all depressed people, no matter what you go through, try and be strong, hold on, never give up, because some people faced more than what some of you are facing, yet God saw them through.

Such an insensitive thing to say.

Life is fun for you doesn't mean that people are not struggling.

Which kind thread be this again oo

Depression is mostly caused by accumulation of unsolved problems.

Without facing those problems head on, no amount of sweet message can change things.

no friends no money
No lover
Just me and my phone

This is a very careless comment, if you have nothing nice to say just move along. Everyone is going through something, least you can do is be nice.

Hope you get through your struggle and whenever you strip you fall into your blessing.

Sorry it's life. Take a big fat hug

We're together

Don't kill yourself if you're depressed ...

Get someone you trust you can open up to. ..

Try to state out your problems ...
Pick the major ones....
List them according from the easiest to Hardest...divide the problem into 2... Solve them but by bit....
With time you'll overcome your depression

@Bold:

Are you creating a kumbaya thread because if people start to unburden, someone might read and proffer solutions which while not palatable would solve their problems?

I think you should state a caveat if it is just an encouragement thread.

Everyone has a burden. Everyone has a challenge. Everyone has a worry. Everyone has a valley. Everyone has a brick wall. This is what makes life life (the repeat is not a mistake). Without something to worry about you will be useless! Life is worthless when there is no new challenge.

Being depressed solves nothing! Depression only damages your mind the more. Falling into depression literally means you have succumbed to defeat, loss and failure!
We are born to fight. Nothing comes on a platter. Fight, you must. Victory isn't a gift. It is a reward...you earn it!

The night may be dark and long. Daylight will sure break out at its set time.

Do not dismiss/mock a struggle you know nothing about.
Even some top CEOs and captains of industries go through this ,I guess they are losers too.
Let me paint it to you clear,most times it is people with huge drive,aspirations,dreams and ambition that go through this because they fear what they envisage might not come to pass or something might go wrong at the end of the day,
It is people who are shallow and have so little to offer that aren't depressed at all because those little things you call fun is what they live for and can be gotten easily.
Be guided.

Anyone that knows Robin Williams and cause of death will not really joke with depression..

I mean I felt that he was the happiest man alive... Many families loved him without even knowing who he truly was and what he was struggling/ battling with... he puts smile on lots of family through his acting..
I still pray that he finds rest that this earth could not give him wherever he is..

I chose to rise above everything that deprives me of my peace of mind and happiness...

I am afraid you are mistaken..... there are many out there who have no major problems to think of yet struggle with depression every moment of every day of their lives.

Everyone has problems of some kind, but not every one is depressed.. so depression is more than just about problems.

What causes depression really.... I have never been depressed...

You have never been depressed? Are you not a human being?

Depressing could be caused by various things- stress, ,genetic predisposition, medication, medical problems, or basically having a depressed brain.

It is possible to have never experienced depression.

Hmmmm... Well... If it's thinking, I think very well but I don't get depressed... Not like I have a perfect life... I just live each day as it comes...

Have you ever felt sadness, guilt, shame, sorrow, boredom, sometimes a combination of one one more of those? If yes, then you have likely experienced depression at one time or another in your life.

Depression is normal for any human , so don't assume it is all about Suicidal thoughts or ideation. Only those who have faulty mood regulation by their brains do not experience such things as depression.

Only those with faulty mood regulation of the brain can boast of such.
